In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.

Cook rice and steam vegetables. Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces to the batter and stir well.

In a large skillet, heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place chicken, piece by piece, in the pan and cook on all sides until the batter is golden and slightly brown. It's easier to cook the chicken in two batches, using 1 tablespoon of oil each time.

Once the chicken is done, pour sauce mixture over it and simmer on medium-low heat until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

Serve chicken over rice with a side of steamed vegetables.
